Reliable sensor and system solutions for liquids and bulk solids – ensuring safe, efficient, and sustainable processes In the chemical industry, precision is essential at every stage of production. Whether storing, mixing, or dosing liquids and bulk solids, accurate level measurement protects people, the environment, and equipment, safeguards product quality, and prevents overfilling or dry running. Early leak detection further enhances operational safety. As an experienced partner to the process industry, UWT supports plant engineers and operators worldwide with comprehensive solutions for level measurement, monitoring, and visualization – from individual process lines to centralized plant control systems. Measurement solutions that make a difference The chemical industry is as diverse as its products. A wide range of media – from aggressive acids and alkalis to solvents, abrasive powders, and sticky pastes – requires precisely tailored measurement technology. With its broad product portfolio, UWT covers all key application areas: * Point level detection using capacitive,…

UWT Sensors Monitor IBCs from the Outside Safe storage and reliable monitoring of caustic soda in a dairy application UWT has introduced a smart, non-contact level measurement solution for aggressive media stored in Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs). This system uses external sensors, eliminating direct contact with corrosive agents like caustic soda for safer, flexible, and more sustainable monitoring in plants. Safe and Flexible Monitoring of Aggressive Media Smaller dairies often use IBC containers for aggressive disinfectants like caustic soda (NaOH) instead of large stationary tanks. This practical approach allows the medium to be diluted and fed into cleaning-in-place (CIP/SIP) systems. UWT’s solution provides non-contact monitoring from outside the tank, ensuring a safer and more flexible operation. Non-Contact Continuous Level Measurement The continuous level measurement is handled by the NivoRadar® NR 7100. This free-radiating 80 GHz FMCW radar sensor is mounted vertically above the…
